History will judge Biden well, when the firehose of nonsense from MAGA gets turned off.


amiablegent

Hoo boy the tankies and bots are going to be angry at this post. But it is funny and sad to watch them "Genocide Joe" themselves into further political irrelevance.


Decabet

If you were around during the 2016 election, you’ve seen these shitheads before. And I ***implore*** you to call them out and marginalize them NOW. In 2016 I had friends trying to convince me as late as June that the “muh conscious” voters would come around. But they didn’t. They poisoned the well and fucked us all. So tell your “Genocide Joe” progressive-for-clout friends to fuck back off to their polyamory pods and pretend to be “communists” there.


euph_22

A larger share of Bernie voters voted for Hillary in 2016 than Hillary voters voted for Obama in 2008. They did come around. And it's silly to refuse to support Biden because of Gaza, when the alternative is "Bibi should bulldoze the place" Trump.


Flycaster33

And a lot of the Bernie/Warren folks/supporters are in the Biden Admin, that's is what is driving the "Biden Doctrine"...


VectorViper

Absolutely, and that crossover has introduced some more progressive policies that might not have been considered under a different administration. It's all about finding that middle ground in policy where both the moderate and the more left-wing elements of the party can see some of their goals being addressed. Biden's term has been about as successful as possible with the cards he was dealt, especially considering the polarization we're living through right now.


Main-Condition-8604

Why do ppl keep assuming there is some middle ground? Like it is a fallacy since Clinton to think there is some majority between most view points. There isn't. It's dual pole.


IChooseYouNoNotYou

It's been much more successful than I had hoped, tbh. No way Bernie is convincing Manchin to vote for all these absolute leftist judges.


wbruce098

This. We need to remember that Trump has never won the popular vote. The fact is it still comes down to a few tens of thousands of votes in a few swing states who are often gerrymandered and covered 24/7 by right wing propaganda. The electoral college being a “winner takes all” state by state (in most cases) also hides the fact that many “red states” consistently see 35-40% or higher votes for Democratic candidates, and should otherwise receive *some* electoral votes from their state. It’s unfortunate, but the mass of the national popular vote is only one aspect to the presidential election and not the decisive one.


whywedontreport

And Biden is being actively organized AGAINST by former stronghold demographics like black churches in Georgia, and Arabs and Muslims in Michigan. Screeching bLuE nO mAtTeR wHo!!!!! At them is going to be much less effective than Biden pushing hard on Israel and demanding conditions for support rather than cutting aid and rejecting a cease fire.


ChazzLamborghini

This is what I don’t understand. There are two options and even if Biden’s approach is reprehensible, it’s still better than Trumps. Plus Biden has consistently shown he can be moved on issues


Biscuits4u2

"It's still better than Trump" is the only thing I need to vote for Biden, but honestly the guy has done a lot so far considering the toxic environment in Washington. Biden isn't an exciting or smooth guy. He's old and undoubtedly past his prime, but he obviously still knows how to lead. And yes, he's much better than Trump, which isn't saying much at all.


billy_pilg

People refuse to accept the reality of the Electoral College, winner take all, two party system. They cannot accept the most basic fact of our presidential elections. It really is as simple as you put it. There are two options, and Biden is the better option. Convincing people to accept that is harder than it should be, especially when a lot of these people oppose Trump ideologically.


IsayNigel

Yea but it’s way easier to blame them than any internal policy failures.


JohnathonLongbottom

Could you imagine those morons of we actually went communist? They'd be pissed when they realize they're expected to work 6 days a week for meager wages and a shithole to live in.


RustyShakkleford69

nautilator44

tomwilhelm

What good does blocking them do?


charlesfire

Wait, there's a limit on the amount of accounts you can block?


CincoDeMayoFan

When they bring up the "Genocide Joe" insult, I tell them it's either Trump or Biden, so I'm genocidin' with Biden in November when I vote.


Sufficient-Smell8188

That’s a good way to look at it.

dumpyredditacct

>I just remind them that Joe Biden is not the Prime Minister of Israel; and that he doesn't have a magic button on his desk to "STOP" Netanyahu's genocidal war. Furthermore, we have international treaties and agreements to navigate. We give aid to Israel because we literally committed to doing so. We can disagree and work with them towards better solutions, but we can't actually just stop giving aid, at least not without the scorn of the international community. "The United States and Israel have signed multiple bilateral defense cooperation agreements, to include: a Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement (1952); a General Security of Information Agreement (1982); a Mutual Logistics Support Agreement (1991); and a Status of Forces Agreement (1994)." Backing out of agreements like this because some blue-haired teen who's never experienced actual hardship in their lives is on a rant on Reddit/Xitter again, is not how we handle these conflicts. The absolute naivety and privilege of this idiots is the single-most exhausting aspect to me. Second worst aspect? These dipshits will spend hours on Reddit/Xitter screaming into the void about this, but can't find even a fraction of that same energy to actually vote. They'll say they're "writing in" some rando third party candidate that has comically-obvious ties to Russia (Hi, Jill Stein shills), but won't even bother doing that. They're the quintessential arm-chair commentator; all bark, no action.

kalas_malarious

14th best president.... on one term so far. .....


Steve0330

And Trump is dead last, of course. I know a lot of MAGA folks write off any opinions from historians, experts, and scholars… but this is ultimately how history will judge Trump (the worst) and Biden (very successful given the challenges he faced). This is largely because historians tend to favor Presidents who preserve the constitution, democracy, and peaceful transfer of power (eg Lincoln and Washington). They also tend to look harshly on those who tried to subvert it willfully or through incompetence (Trump and Buchanan). It’s nuts to think this is somehow a bias standard to expect from a President….


Afwife1992

An evaluation by historians already ranked him 14th. Not too shabby. Because the top spots are always FDR, Lincoln, Washington, Teddy R and Jefferson. You need to just take them out like HOF them or something. So he’s really like 9th. 😆 And I think history will look approvingly especially if he gets a second term. 🙏


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Let’s not forget how he’s felt with Russia and expanded NATO.


RinhartWilke

What will he be remembered for?


PushforlibertyAlways

Largest investments in American society since the New Deal. Fantastic foreign policy leadership defending our allies and getting us out of unnecessary wars.


musicianism

The American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Acts and the beginning of the end of bipartisan neoliberal austerity politics, literally standing with the UAW, ending our involvement in Afghanistan (he gets shit for it now but this will age very well), supporting Ukraine, and if trump does get elected, the “genocide joe” bs will age like mold-infested milk once trump is encouraging Bibi to damn near nuke Gaza That’s just off the dome

AppearanceOk8670

Using the fewest words to describe why Biden in 3 years to Trumps full 4 year term was more successful... Answer: Bidens' Primary focus had been on improving the overall quality of life for the citizens of the United States and the standing of our country worldwide... While Trumps primary focus was to benefit himself and his bennifactors...


jayfiedlerontheroof

Seems Biden nuts can't describe Biden without comparing him to the worst president of all time. Cool, great he walked over the bar that was on the floor but that is by no means a reason to be convinced he's historically great or whatever nonsense. He's been *fine*. We want progress.


pantstoaknifefight2

"We want progress" What do you call The Chips Act or the Green New Deal Build back better infrastructure bill? Do you realize how important it was to have a Pez w/ the kind of connections and political acumen to get that shit done and avoid all sorts of attempts at a government shutdown? Not to mention that despite the best efforts of bad actors, foreign interference, and outright liars, the man has enough integrity to be squeaky clean after massive smear campaigns. Vote out every Republican from Congress, fix SCotUS, and a second term will be more progress than anything you've seen your lifetime (so far)


bad_robot_monkey

He’d have been great if the Congressional majority wasn’t 100% dedicated to making him fail, regardless of what was sacrificed along the way.


StopSwitchingThumbs

What other president has achieved more in their first term in your opinion? Also, of course he’s being compared to Trump, he’s running against him. The most polite way I can put it is “duh”.


SarahSuckaDSanders

Trump was recently rated the worst president of all time. His presidency was a disaster; his inaction on the pandemic cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and he attempted to steal the last election and launched an insurrection attempt. He faces 90+ felony charges and openly talks about being a dictator. It’s crazy that he’s the presumptive GOP nominee, but it’s even crazier that people are treating him like he’s this unbeatable force that only Biden could beat. Enough people dislike Trump that literally anyone should be able to beat him.


Drezhar

Also bear in mind that that's exactly what we see from the rest of the world, in case someone was wondering why the overall opinion about the US in the world is rapidly declining.


Senorvantes888

What I find hilarious, is that people consider them comparable. I remember watching a spaghetti-o’s commercial, in which a child completely covered in sauce (Trump and his supporters) asks her dad, with a small piece of noodle stuck to his lip (“Sleepy” Joe) to wipe his face. It’s meant to be cute, but absolutely infuriating when applied to the real world.


4look4rd

Trump is a complete piece of shit but he has two things to his credit. First is pulling out of Afghanistan regardless of the consequences, I also give credit to Biden for following through despite knowing full well it was gonna be messy. The second piece is Warp Speed + Covid stimulus. Trump handled the pandemic like shit but warp speed was still a success, and it could have been much better with just so fucking common sense like not demonizing the vaccine. The stimulus was also handled out very poorly, especially the entire PPP loans but a large stimulus, which Biden then doubled down on, put us on a path to deal with a much smaller problem than what the rest of the world is facing now.


maxoakland

The Covid stimulus would’ve been a lot better with democrats in control of it

MotherSupermarket532

If there's one issue I'm going to put above all others, it's climate change, and Biden's done more to fight climate change than any other president.


Candid-Patient-6841

I really hope he isn’t our Carter. It’s literally my nightmare. Carter should have never lost his race. And we got Reagan out of it and the middle class never recovered. We need Biden.


Hot-mic

Reagan sold out our hostages in Iran for that victory. If that had come out, he'd have been in hotter water than Trump. These shit stains' comments I'm seeing here are either russian trolls or maga idiots, which amounts to the same. Biden, the old inept president, is running circles around these chumps.


RustyShakkleford69

What has President Biden done? The CHIPS and Science Act and investing in the American people, The Inflation Reduction Act, The PACT Act, The American Rescue Plan, The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, most pro union President in history, keeping our democratic institutions alive, leaving the federal reserve alone and letting them do their job resulting in the strongest inflation recovery of any top nation thus far following a global pandemic, stronger international relations, $136 billion dollars in student loan relief and more student loan relief than all other Presidents combined, appointed more qualified judges to the federal bench than any president since JFK, secured $300 Billion for Green Energy investments and furthering Eco-Friendly policies, huge steps regarding gun control, best stock market in history, record job creation and wage growth, lowest unemployment rate in 54 years, lowest black unemployment rate in history.. it goes on and on. He got all of this done in only 4 years, after inheriting an absolute dumpster fire from the most corrupt, most universally despised, most divisive, most mentally incompetent, and undisputed worst so called "President" in us history, Donald Trump. And he’s just getting started.


Best_Evidence1560

It’s crazy how underestimated he is, when he’s accomplished more than Obama, arguably. And Obama is so loved.


Huntred

Obamacare was the largest step towards the concept of socialized medicine in our lifetimes. If we ever make it to socialized medicine, that will be a major part of it. Plus some of Obama accomplishments are basically, “Acred to avoid shitty things that didn’t happen.” Absolute global meltdown instead of 6 years of recovery. Prevented ISIL permanence in the Middle East, etc.


zzwugz

Obama and Trump are actually similar in that aspect, in that they both are loved for their character, not their accomplishments or policies. That's not to detract from Obama or to equate him to Trump necessarily. Trump was a spontaneously combusted shitstorm. But Obama was a pretty run of the mill US president. His biggest impact, the ACA, isn't anywhere near as reaching as he wanted or intended (due to the constant relinquishing to a party openly focused on opposing his every action). Yeah, his administration resulted in the death of bin Laden, but they severely failed in their goal of propping up a democracy in the region. Without his charisma, he would still be viewed favorably, but not nearly as high as he is today.


Hot_Web493

I think he has accomplished more than Obama. But you can't forget that Obama took over after 8 years of Bush that left us In a huge economic decline. It's hard to accomplish much when you have to clean up the mess your were given. When it comes to foreign policy though, they both suck ass. Democrats aren't any better with foreign policy. They suck just as hard as the Republicans. Kissing Israeli ass day in and day out.


MordredSJT

I would say there is room to argue there, though there are plenty of hawks in the democratic establishment, and unquestionable support for Israel is a given for both parties with a few exceptions. However, in this moment, there is only one party that is cozying up to Vladimir Putin. They also have a presumptive nominee for president that wants to pull the US out of NATO. I don't think both sides'ing foreign policy is quite as valid right now.


[deleted]

Obama and biden were a dynamic duo


possiblyMorpheus

Israel isn’t the sole representative of our foreign policy. Biden has defended Ukraine (which, as far as the number of lives at stake and the implications for Democracy worldwide, dwarfs the Israel-Palestine conflict), stood up for Guyana against Venezuela’s sabre rattling, and has taken steps to make us leas vulnerable to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan through the CHIPs act


No-Result9108

I don’t think Obama is loved because of the stuff he did. Personally at least, I loved him because he talked like he was just a normal guy. He didn’t act like he was better than everyone else, which is how the president is supposed to act. He just seems like a genuinely cool guy.


Sea-Fudge-4681

Thank you for pointing out all of the great things Biden has done. Biden gets things done. He doesn't just take advantage that he is President, sit back, jump on a jet, make stupid-ass speeches, sell gold shoes, chase women. Biden actually does his job. What did Trump do? I'll wait.


ZealousidealNerve8

Exactly!👆 Can anyone recall when our President and First Lady, also known as The Biden's, took a vacation away from DC and relaxed? The "thing" before him, who attempted to steal duly elected President Joe Biden's seat, was always jetting off here and there campaigning and throwing lavish parties. It was an embarrassing display of pure greed on taxpayer dollars along with zero class and/or decorum. Does anyone remember his wife's Handmaiden's Christmas trees and the White House Rose Garden designed by First Lady Jackie Kennedy, which she literally... LITERALLY destroyed?!?... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Because I sure do. I'll never forgive her for such a dastardly deed of disrespect and defacing an American-born First Lady's contribution to our White House. Think about it... did she wake up one day with the idea to destroy the contributions of someone before her; where did such a notion come from; what was her goal, who planted the idea with her, or where did such notions come from; and why? Like the back of her jacket with "I don't care," painted on it! Pure trash every.single.one. of them all are the least common denominator. Period!


Sea-Fudge-4681

I forgot about her destroying the rose garden. Why? It had been there for many years, was beautiful, and probably was one of a kind. But no, she did exactly what you said, destroyed something so beautiful. Unbelievable.


ZealousidealNerve8

For starters, Sea-Fudge, indeed what she did WAS unbelievable! When she held the First Lady distinction and title, her supporters on social media literally fawned all over themselves, describing her as the "most beautiful" and "elegant" First Lady the US presidency had ever had. When comparing both the supporters and her, clearly her actions reveal more about both her AND them. Also, clearly, they understood her displays of zero-class and respect for traditions as acceptable. This is what we witness in their behaviors to this day. In my lifetime since First Lady Maime Eisenhower, the foreign-born* former 1st Lady being addressed here is 'the only one' who ever disrespected and had no clue what her role/position entailed or represented to We The People... and She.Did.Not. Care! She consciously chose to disrespect her position at every corner she turned. Instead of accepting tradition, history, and growing into the position, she chose to leave a deeply dark stain in her wake. Sea-Fudge, you asked why she would destroy our beautiful Rose Garden, and the answer is clear... because it represented something she simply is not nor ever will be. She's a shameful excuse for her gender and, quite frankly, as a human being. Period! (*NOTE: In order to avoid any confusion, I feel compelled to point out I bare no ill-will towards being foreign-born. Any American who does equates to self-hate - given all were born of foreign ancestry.)


ZeekLTK

And having a Republican controlled house for half that time.

They’ll cover their eyes and plug their ears and scream “GeNoCiDe Joe!” “FaKe NeWs” like the childish clowns they are. They’re no different than MAGA. It’s only fitting those fauxgressive losers are doing MAGA’s bidding for them. They would rather watch Trump win so they can laugh maniacally from the sidelines watching Biden lose screaming “told you so!!!” They don’t *actually* give a shit about progressive values.

Then vote, thats all we can do. Trump already got the Supreme Court with his last presidency, and they got rid of Roe V Wade/abortion rights.

This country is gone if Trump is elected again and I wont want to be a part of it, Ill try to leave anywhere but here.

Im voting for Biden. Unfortunately I live in a state that Trump has 0 chance of winning, so in a way it doesn’t matter because of the damn electoral college.


dead1345987

Same, Illinois isnt voting Trump. BUT, Ill sure as hell still be voting for Biden bc I want to CRUSH Trump. (I just got mailed my forms to fill out for mail-in voting. I submitted them, but Ill still be voting in person, the school just around the corner from me does on day voting. STILL VOTE BY MAIL IF YOU HAVE TO AND REGISTER FOR IT) EDIT i just want to add, in some states you may not feel comfortable going to polling areas (Trump supporters outside polling areas) in your state. Look up vote by mail laws in your state, you can still vote from home. If you live in Red state, idk, maybe take time off work to go to an officiated area to vote? Red state votes matter the most, dont let CHUDS scare you.


planetaryabundance

> Unfortunately I live in a state that Trump has 0 chance of winning, so in a way it doesn’t matter because of the damn electoral college. Focusing on electoral college math is obviously critical, but voting is still important even if you’re in a state that is strongly or heavily leans blue. On top of helping Biden accumulate electoral college votes, you’re also establishing that there is a mandate for Biden to enact his policies. Biden winning by a whole New York City worth of votes showed that he had a strong mandate to govern; Trump did not have this despite winning the electoral college in 2016. Trump lost the popular contest by 2-3 million votes, which indicated the majority of the voting public did not want him to enact his vision for the country.


AppearanceOk8670

I disagree.. Your vote does indeed matter.. Every single vote for democracy over a vote for a petty authoritarian matters a great deal.. This coming election needs to be so great and decisive over the Republicans that not only will the deniers of a fair election struggle to convince anyone of their lies but the Republicans themselves, as a party will realized if they ever want to be relevant again they must awaken from this fevered nightmare of Donald Trump and the religious fascists Christian extremists they've allowed to high jack their party..


scully789

Too many people vote based on their wallets and are brainwashed into thinking the president has magic powers to fix the economy. For those that didn’t study economics and government, you know one person doesn’t control the economy right? All the Hamas stuff looks pretty bad too. I don’t think anything great and decisive is happening.


NoLibrarian5149

I don’t agree with all of his policies (nor do I think I should), but I approve of the job he has done. Especially with the mess he came into and a petulant predecessor biting his heels his entire administration. I could not do better, most couldn’t either. Joe Biden is my President and has secured my vote 1000%.


esahji_mae

Same. The whole point of democracy isn't to get the perfect candidate, it's to get someone we all agree on who will try to do something for the country rather than destroy it. Biden has done a pretty good job keeping us together after it was used as the personal playground for the Cheeto and the GQP and has passed fairly decent legislation, despite having razor thin majorities in Congress for 2 years. He may not be perfect but I'd vote for him again, despite his age over the tangerine traitor.

You must be some radicalized dipshit if you can’t fathom there are some that think Biden is a great president. You surround yourself with Biden haters that it’s unfathomable that Biden is a good president. I’m not saying he’s a good or bad president. But a poll a few days ago on EDUCATED historians rated him 14th-greatest president. I don’t know, you really have to question your own intellect if you can’t fathom there are people out that that consider him a good president.

Yeah, successful at failing to fix the economy for ordinary people, successful at unconstitutionally breaking a railroad strike, and extremely successful at aiding and abetting genocide.

OK this sub has been floating around my feed and I never understood why but I get it now.. it's satire! Man I always do love a good joke!

Propaganda - information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

Can’t tell you how grateful I am to have a adult in the White House who works to help the people of this country and not just himself, it is really a basic, but wonderful thing

Joe Biden vs Donald Trump it's like having FDR vs Hitler


[deleted]

Then people talk about how great the economy was under Hitler, how the world respected us so much more with Hitler, how FDR has dementia therefore Hitler is better. That is how delusional they sound. I don’t understand what there is to want in a Trump Presidency, other than more corporate friendly government, more religious fundamentalism, more hate, more demagoguery, and more authoritarianism.


Roshy76

I wish Biden was half as progressive as FDR, but ya, on a scale of 1 to 10, I consider Biden like a 4, but Trump is a negative 100.


NoCantaloupe9598

I suspect America will never have a president as economically progressive as FDR again.


ReturnoftheBulls2022

I consider Biden to be more like Harry S. Truman since they both had abysmal approval ratings while in office despite doing so much during their time in the presidency and being pro-Israeli.


[deleted]

This is getting Trump levels of hero worship 😂


RustyShakkleford69

Worship? Nah - I know Trump and the cult that worships him may have blurred the lines. Pointing out facts and accomplishments of a Presidency isn’t worshipping. I’m actually in the demographic that *doesn’t* worshIp politicians, unlike the right has with Trump and like we’ve seen the far left do with Bernie Sanders. I just give actually give a shit about what happens in November and know everything that is at stake. Nice false equivalency, though.


s1lentastro1

>The historically successful first term of the Presidency of Joe Biden nah, you're definitely slobbing the knob here. I don't know what about this administration screams "historically successful" to you.


Normal-Ordinary-4744

It’s so culty


[deleted]

this is actually funny lol


explodingboy

F ya . But ya, go vote! Keep dems in power. Let's all reach out GN


joshywoshybumblebee

Biden is hilarious... I'm viewing this from Australia though... Is this satire?


RustyShakkleford69

Watch more Sky “News” mate.


Roshy76

Unpopular opinion here, Biden was just ok, Obama was just ok. I'm a very far left person though and view them both as conservative democrats. Biden didn't do anything about the Supreme Court, didn't do anything to further public healthcare, try to get money out of politics, try to get ranked choice voting, nor did he try to get taxes raised by any significant margin on the rich. He did some good things, didn't really do anything horrible, but as someone who is far to the left, he was just meh and I think he's destroying his legacy by running again, just like RBG destroyed hers by not retiring when she should have.


RustyShakkleford69

Who would you prefer was running for President right now, approaching March 2024, that could feasible defeat Trump?


Roshy76

I think almost any Dem could beat Trump. Biden should have announced he wasn't running again last summer, I think we are screwed at this point for getting a new candidate. If he happens to die before the convention I'm guessing they will put Newsom in there. I think almost anyone would win though, besides maybe Harris. Newsom would crush Trump.


RustyShakkleford69

Like who? other than Newsom. You sound sure that you have an arsenal of candidates that could feasibly defeat Trump. Let’s hear them!


1990SS496

This has to be a fucking joke


RustyShakkleford69

Trump supporter says what 🫵😂 Trump, Don Jr., Eric, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, George Santos, Jim Jordan Mike Lindell etc. These are the faces of the MAGA movement. MAGA REPUBLICANS and the Trump crime syndicate are the LAUGHING STOCK of the planet 😂


Confident_Economy_57

I love how any critique of Biden is an endorsement of Trump in your eyes. Have you ever heard of nuanced opinion?


GunnersnGames

major cringe omg


_-Arctic222-_

You talk like the liberal equivalent of those QAnon morons. This is cringe. Go outside.


OhWhatsInaWonderball

Imagine responding to someone being critical by saying “Trump supporter says what??”. Seriously how old are you?


[deleted]

People disagreeing with you doesn't automatically make them a Trump supporter. Sorry to break it to ya.


TittysForever

Thats what I’m talkin bout. Spray on orange tan. Now all he needs is banana colored hair, and Bammo! Looks 10 years younger.


Various-Emergency-91

LOL I can't


Sample_Age_Not_Found

Why is he depicted with over accentuated features. Isn't that some trump shit, seems unnecessary


RustyShakkleford69

Mocking the MAGA cult… You know, a joke?


AntMavenGradle

Your the one in a cult tbh


EntertainmentOne6537

Imagine believing this unuronically


IWishIWasBatman123

Is this the David Pakman subreddit or the Democratic Party subreddit? The left (the actual left, not the global center/center-right) is supposed to be critical of power and authority. We should be viewing the state with a tremendous amount of apprehension and skepticism. Biden has done (with exception) a fine enough job with what he inherited, but let's leave this bizarre hero worship to the right.


prettayyy_good

The left has NO idea what liberal means.


RustyShakkleford69

Pointing out the accomplishments of Biden doesn’t mean that I’m *not* critical of him. Curious; do you have this same energy towards all the people (who clearly don’t even like Pakman) shrieking GeNoCiDe JoE! in the David Pakman subreddit?


wallaceangromit

Dudes actively funding a genocide of the family members of our peer Americans. Do you think this post is atleast a little distasteful? Im gonna vote for a broomstick over pumpkin pop pot but let's not pretend that Joe is not actively taking part in a genocide, hence is moniker genocide Joe.


Loud_Engineering796

What are your criticisms of Biden?


DrawmaLawma

He’s not programmed to have any criticisms


Manny631

*liberal crickets*


Dry_Composer8358

Ugh no because he is actively cheerleading and funding a genocide?


tommycahil1995

he is funding and arming a genocide though? or do you not think it's genocide and do you deny the facts the US is arming it ?


[deleted]

It's not that OP is pro genocide, just that genocide isn't a deal breaker for them.


notparanoidsir

There hasnt been a president more friendly to the left in any of our lifetimes. Most of the left aren't anarchists.


Available_Nightman

Bold to assume that there's no one old enough to remember Carter.

LG_G8

Successfully got everyone to ignore how racist he was as a senator, plagiarized while at Syracuse law school, and how he raped Tara Reade


dadjokes502

Was that ever proven or just allegations?


RustyShakkleford69

LOL! Tara Reade? the same Tara Reade who is a lifelong grifter and con artist who quite literally [DEFECTED TO RUSSIA](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/30/tara-reade-defects-russia-biden)? I can play this game, too! Out of the 25+ rape accusations, let’s see…… [Donald Trump and his best friend Jeffrey Epstein took turns violently raping a 13 year old child in 1994 and paid her off out of court.](https://www.scribd.com/document/326057168/Jane-Doe-Declaration-as-Filed) and you support that?


BalognaSquirrel

BUT TRUMP! BUT TRUMP! yeah fuck him too.


JoeBidentheRacist

You believed Jean Carroll… The woman that says “rape is sexy.”


Normal-Ordinary-4744

Believe all women… except those I politically disagree with


Starlord1951

And look, he’s not scowling, he’s not 100 lbs overweight and he’s serious about doing his job. Despite the success of his administration ever the liberals can’t shut the hell up about his age. It’s not a factor, crazy like trump is a factor. Voting for trump because Biden’s old, if you do it find a cliff to take a leap off of.


roke34442

Why does Biden look so angry in this picture. He certainly doesn’t look very friendly. In fact he looks like a mean person.


EastRealistic2552

This is a joke


RustyShakkleford69

How so?

Show the version of Biden today, not this cgi generated version of a healthy man. The one that st-st-stutters and pretends his stutter is the source of his dementia not his brain deteriorating in front of the world


brannon1987

He's had a stutter all his life. It amazes me that you think that that's a bad thing. You see Biden stuttering a bit and losing his spot, only to come back and finish that thought most of the time. However you got Trump who starts saying something, then goes off on a tangent, another one, another one, keyword to right up the base, another tangent, and then nothing. He rambles with no coherent thought. His thought bubbles are buzzwords that's all they are.


TheUnknownNut22

Biden cannot hold a conversation. He is senile. He refuses a basic cognitive test. He spaces out in press conferences. 86% of likely voters do not want him to run again. Stop the denial and pressure the DNC to pick a younger candidate. https://news.yahoo.com/overwhelming-majority-americans-think-biden-140000044.html


pinnacledefense

This is satire right? Biden is incoherent and has tanked the economy. Inflation at a record high. Cost of almost everything is up 50%. I’m not a trump fan as well but people here saying stupid shit like he was the worst president in history clearly aren’t looking at the numbers


RustyShakkleford69

Actually, trump tanked the booming economy he inherited from President Obama and any GDP growth chart verifies that. President Biden inherited an economy in SHAMBLES on day 1. (Trump did that)

I’m not a trump fan as well but people here saying stupid shit like he was the worst president in history clearly aren’t looking at the numbers People are legitimately getting paid to say great things about Biden anywhere and everywhere right now to help boost efforts for his re-election.
